Hey, you! Yeah YOU!
How come you haven't registered? Have you read about our new blue star program? We are donating $10 of each blue star subscription to the Blue Ribbon Coalition to ensure that we will have trails to recreate on for years to come.
Our blue star comes with all the benefits of a red star such as 10 second searching, blue/red star member only giveaways, access to the private blue/red star member forums, etc.

LS cases are more "square", while open cases have a slight curve inwards when going away from the ring gear. So if you're looking at your diff, look from the ring gear to the right. Does the case curve or is it straight?

Ah crap!
I dont have time to do that, I need to use it today and dont have time to let a silcone gasket cure. There's no way to tell from jacking it up and spinning the tire?
BTW, last winter I noticed that going uphill only one tire would get power and it never transferred power to more than one rear wheel in 2WD.
I dont think it has it either but I dont want to burn the clutches if it does.
Thanks for your help!

If it has a limited slip, its a tracklock, commonly refered to as a trashlock. It doesnt take many miles to turn this limited slip into an unlimited slip. I wouldnt worry about it. How the hell are ya draining the fluid to change it if your not pulling the cover off? Pumping it out? Its always a good idea to pull the cover to see what kind of crap you have floating around in there, especially with the dana 35 rear end.

If your really worried about it then go ahead and put the modifier in, it wont hurt anything if you do have a standard open diff.

I have a factory "Trashlock" in a ff d60. When both tires are off the ground spend the wheels. If the tires spin in that same direction you have a limited slip. If they turn in opposite directions you have an open dif.

This guy has the answer!
You jack up both wheels, and spin one with your hand.
If they both spin the same direction it has some sort of traction aid (limited slip, locker, etc.)
If the tires spin opposite directions, itís an open dif.

Just make sure you leave your tranny in neutral when doing this. Otherwise you won't be able to tell.
